Get Writing Performance Gains Through Self-Regulated Strategy Instruction
Thursday, October 18, 2007 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
The SOLO Writing Coach, developed in collaboration with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Dr. Karen Erickson, applies the research around Self-Regulated Strategy Development done by Drs. Steven Graham and Karen Harris (Vanderbilt University) and transforms their work into step-by-step writing instruction within the considerate environment of SOLO. In this session, technology takes its place as a critical tool, yet almost invisible to the primary focus, which is instruction. Come learn about the replicable model that produced writing gains of 46.8 percent in low performing students and 9.8 percent in average performing students – a way to truly close the achievement gap.
